[admin] Welcome and Introductions

[doctorskuld]

Welcome to the HIStory3: Trapped 圈套 Community on Dreamwidth

Even the though the fandom is spread around on various social media platforms, I think there are enough people on Dreamwidth who have seen the show to merit a separate community to celebrate our favorite disaster gangsters and their disaster cop boyfriends.

This is a comm for discussing and sharing the love of Trapped 圈套 and its related content, including:
• All types of discussion, discourse, and squee
• Actor news and spam (RPS and speculation is acceptable)
• Fan works (fanfiction, podfic, art, icons, vids, etc.), including your own work, challenges, recs and fanwork finding, beta requests
• Episode recaps

You are encouraged to post content directly to the community so that discussion can happen in one central place.

The Community Guidelines can be found on the profile page.

To start things off, let's introduce ourselves, tell each other how we came into the fandom, and what our favorite things about Trapped 圈套 are.

Hi everybody, and welcome! I'm Skuld, your admin for this comm. I decided to start this, because my friends suggested it on Twitter, and I think we have reached a critical mass of Dreamwidth folks who might want a comm to squee about Trapped!

How I came to watch Trapped
I watched it on Viki sometime around July 2019, at the insistence of naye, who had gotten word of it via xparrot and gnine, as a low-key, short BL drama, where the characters are actually allowed to be out and gay because it's Taiwanese. We were told it has ALL THE FANFICTION TROPES, and boy, was that true or what?

My favorite scene in Trapped
It's a tie between Meng Shao Fei tripping over a tree trunk and falling into Tang Yi's arms (which was telegraphed way in advance, shown in slow motion, and replayed from three different angles), and Zhao Zi falling off the ladder into Jack's arms and into the swimming pool.

I don't think I'd howled as loudly with laughter and delight since Yuri!!! on Ice had aired in 2016.

I like Trapped because
It is absolutely unabashed about what it is. It's a trope bingo blackout that delivers on the relationships you came here for. It features larger-than-life disaster adults in silly situations, and they get their happy endings, with just enough left up to the imagination that there's plenty of sandbox space to play around in for fanfiction.

Oh, and Andy Bian and Kenny Chen are great kissers too. That helps.

You can also find me on...
Jack/Zhao Zi are my current OTP, so you may have already seen my Jack-centric The Divine Art of the Househusband series and my other fics in the same universe on AO3.

I am also found squeeing about Trapped on Twitter (buttonthemdown), and Tumblr (the-wintry-mizzenmast).

If you have any questions about the guidelines, would like to request additional tags, or want to say hi, drop me a line!
